I heard that Ronnie Woo was walking along Michigan Avenue this morning, carrying an Obama sign and shouting (of course), "Obama WOO! Obama WOO!!!!" (For those not from Chicago or not Cubs fans, Ronnie Woo is the name given the guy who is probably the most famous of Cubs fans. He is also derided for being a bit of a freeloader by trading in his fame for free tickets/booze/food/whatever.)
I wanna read Shir's Victorian Lit paper!! My Vict. Lit class was relatively boring (lots of essays that drove me bonkers--Vict. Lit was the only class in which I enjoyed the poetry more than the prose), but I did have a ball writing a paper on "Alice's Search for Identity" in Alice in Wonderland. Got an A+ and a neat comment from the prof that I still mostly remember 20 years later: "You have an invigorating way of appropriating evidence, one that's taken me all semester to appreciate, but it's grown on me!"
dcp, your Yellowstone pictures are GAWjus! I love how you've got both grand scope and incredible detail.
Grrr. (Although I didn't realize canivote.com was through the states' secretary of state offices. Sorry.)
Annoying, isn't it. The MA site doens't actually let you see if your registered, just details on where to vote/how to register.
And I keep singing my new tag line in my head.
I wrote an LJ entry this morning with "1 more day" as the subject line, and I wasn't thinking of Les Miz when I wrote it, but as soon as I posted it, I got the song stuck in my head.

Neither was I until you just mentioned it and now I can't stop humming. Curse you, wee Teppy!
Awesome Military (Funny Pics)
I think my fave is the A-1 Skyraider preparing to take off from an aircraft carrier on a mission to bomb Vietnam - in addition to a load of bombs, it also carries a toilet on one of its bomb racks.
Although I suppose I shouldn't find it funny - that toilet might have killed someone....
I wonder if this also holds true on a squash court: [link]

And Trudy.
Dammit.
Now I gotta go find my tenth anniversary DVD with all the Jean Valjeans from around the world singing together.
